Bond applications can be made by Lay or Professional people. A ‘Lay’ person will be a family member, friend or relative, who does not raise invoices for their time and is not covered by a professional indemnity insurance policy.
A professional person will be paid formally for their services, raise invoices for their time and will be covered by a professional indemnity insurance policy for their work.

For Deputy Bonds the Court of Protection investigates if a claim is required and issues a Court Order to call in the bond.
Upon payment of the premium the Bond will be deemed to have been in force from the date of your appointment, with all previous activities automatically being covered by the Bond.
